About this Mod
A beta project meant to replicate the Abilities of projects like JEI or EMI or even REI. This project is a less than ideal solution and is hence in beta, I've been improving it and it's almost user friendly now. I'm not sure if I have the time to backport this to 1.21.2 or update to 1.21.9. But the project has been doing pretty well so after I finish it for 1.21.4 I'll likely update and backport it. Its open source if anyone wants to improve it just credit me as the creator of the source.
